Get Support
NEED Initiatives (NorthEast Education Initiatives) helps families navigate special education, disability access, and school safety concerns with practical guidance and advocacy support. Use the form link below to tell us what you are navigating so we can follow up with next steps.
If you have an upcoming meeting date (IEP/504, safety meeting, manifestation, etc.), include it in the form so we can prioritize time-sensitive requests when possible.
What we can help with
- IEP and 504 meeting preparation and follow-up
- Understanding options, timelines, and school processes
- Organizing concerns and requests into clear written notes
- Communication support (email drafts, meeting talking points)
- Safety plan concerns and documentation support
- Disability access support, including VI/BLV/CVI resources (VIBE)
- Connecting you to resources
How It Works
- Submit the form so we have the right details and a safe way to follow up.
- We review and respond with clarifying questions or next steps.
- We plan the support (meeting prep, guidance, resources, and when available, advocacy support)
